Thunderstorm: The Return of Thor (2011)

How bad is it? It has a 1.6 IMDB rating and deserves it.
Should you see it? No.
Brett Kelley has directed more than two dozen films so far and none are very good; this is probably his worst. Here he also wrote and gave himself the title role (though not top billing). Those who worship the Norse goddess Hel are about to bring on the end of the Earth (and Asgard), so the powers of Thor are given to a human in order to stop her. Non-actors in Halloween costumes then fight in poorly choreographed scenes with bad special effects and post-production (and poorly synced) sound. Shooting blue fireballs from his hands to defeat lizard puppets is fun, but doesn't compensate for the slow and talky rest of the film.
